ST. LOUIS -- He was known for his speed and the pressure he put on his opponents when he was on base, but Lou Brock was much more than a stolen-base specialist. He was a daring leadoff man, a complete player and a clutch hitter. He was gentle, driven, universally admired and respected by his peers.

And the Hall of Famer will always be remembered as a Cardinals legend. Brock died Sunday at the age of 81. The Cardinals and Cubs, Brock's first team, played each other in Chicago Sunday night and held a collective moment of silence for Brock before the game.
